Intro to Point & Click App Development

by

About this Course

This class teaches you how to build powerful web and mobile apps and host them in the cloud, without writing a line of code.

By the end of this short course, you'll use the skills you've developed to conceptualize and create your own app. To get you there, your instructors Samantha and Andy will first help you build an app that could be used to manage logistics at a music festival. Though this is a very specific app use case, the skills you learn will be applicable to just about any business app you’d want to develop.

Prerequisites and Requirements

Good news! You don't need any programming experience and you don't need to know anything about Salesforce. You'll learn the ins and outs of point-and-click development, so all you need now is an interest in building an app.

One thing you should know: the skills you learn in this course are in high demand and will help further your career.

Why Take This Course

After completing this course you will have built your own web and mobile app. You will become familiar with the concept of abstraction and how to think about concrete problems in their most general sense -- a concept critical for all developers. In addition, you will learn how to map out a data model, create data visualizations, and automate manual processes after analyzing your abstractions.

What kind of apps can you build? Well, Facebook uses a Salesforce app to manage their entire hire-to-retire process: collecting resumes, sharing feedback, making job offers, and developing talent. And the Obama 2012 campaign built apps to mobilize their vast volunteer network and visualize the pulse of the nation in real-time. What will you build?
